Mishustin: completed the construction of several thousand defensive structures on the border of the Russian Federation

In the territories of the border regions and new subjects of Russia, the construction of several thousand new defensive structures has been completed. This was stated by the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin at meeting Coordinating Council for Meeting the Needs of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

“The equipment of several thousand defensive structures in the territories of border regions and new subjects has been completed,” he said.

In addition, resources were allocated for the organization of a “special technical cover”. We are talking, in particular, about the supply of means for detecting and countering drones, the prime minister explained.

During the meeting, Mishustin also announced an increase in production volumes “in almost all positions” of the logistics of the Russian troops. Financing for the implementation of the state defense order was significantly increased, and “unprecedented in terms” investments were allocated for the development of the production capacities of the Russian defense industry, the prime minister stressed.

At the end of February, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared at the extended board of the FSB on the need to create defensive structures on the way of sabotage groups to the territory of the Russian Federation through the border with Ukraine, as well as to stop attempts to illegally transport weapons and ammunition.
